This is another farm
that grew to be a very large resort.When
the Schmollingers bought the farm from William and Rosie Shult in 1940,
they found an inscription, “Cook 1780,” on one of the flagstones in
front of the original house.This
farm was on the Schoharie Turnpike and apparently there was a tollgate
there.The Schmollingers moved
a small old building by the road and found several old coins.Today Pleasant View Lodge boasts a German-American cuisine, a large
indoor pool and many different types of accommodations.The Schmollingers advertise, “The breath-taking Northern
Catskill Mountains will surround you
at Pleasant View.”
